Woke @7:10, we hurried to Taipei Main Station to take THSR to Zuoying.
He was quite okay on the train, still lots of questions.
Arrived at Zuoying, we transferred to local train to Gangsan. Lori kept asking about how to say the stop name in Chinese and English repeatly (He tried to pronounce it on his own)
In WP, he played w/ pyramid game, and designed a maze game and some pages of his math workbook. Was a chatter box while doing every steps!!
On the way home, he tried to take a rest, but couldn't fall asleep.
I asked him to write the stop names in his note book and found his handwriting is terrible.
Arrived home, I asked him to practice the alphabet writing (Capital/Lower case). Some were doing good and some were bad. When I asked him to rewrite, he started to get irritated and started bending his head and tears were in his eyes. Keeping saying "Mom, are you angry? I can feel that you're so angry to me!"
Finally, he had corrected some of his re-writing and we headed to mom's. On the way to mom, Lori said that mom you've been so mad at me, I am about not liking anyone on this world because of you. You know, you shouldn't be so tough on me....
Later at mom's, he was so upset about me not bring him his play toys and tried to became clingy on me again. I also find out that he blink his eyes quite often while get stressed and I showed him that what if I blinked my eyes just like he did and asked him what was his idea about it? Lori replied it was not very good looking!
I told him that once he finished his dinner before 18:30, he can watch Doraemon until 19:00.
And he managed to make it work and later he had banana chiffon cake and fruit/chicken soup when done the TV watching.
Later when we got home, he became so tame and took very good care of Zoe, and asked me if I can pamper Zoe to sleep alone and he would like to read his book in his room and I granted his request. He read a book that we bought in the bookstore with very little help while I was with him and later he read other 5 books before Dad came home and read him another bed time story book-Mooncake.

Comments from class teacher:
I have read Lawrence's psychological report - it is very interesting and hopeful. I will use the information to help me organize the lessons/class time to ensure Lawrence has as little stress as possible and hopefully a happier time.
On a positive note, he sat thru an entire assembly today (on a chair next to me) and even sang a little bit during singing time.
He brought home a reading book (blue label) with 400 words reader, a much more difficult reader than it's normal reader. Don't know why Ms. Mayhew let him choose this one. The first time reading was a little bit hesitated, but it went pretty well; just a little paused at the words like "Tortoise, Kay, guess.."
Since Lori was doing good yesterday at school, I took him to see a movie- “How to train your dragon馴龍高手“ in I-MAX theater in Miramax Shopping Mall. We wore a 3D effect eyewear thru a whole movie. Lawrence actually complained several times about the very loud speaker during watching the movie. But, I believed he enjoyed a lot in watching it!
When we arrived home yesterday, Dad was already at home. And Lori seemed very happy today, so he drew some maze and game plots on his own. And we read a book called "Olivia acts out!"

Went to Da-an Park this morning, and Lori actually did pretty good w/ his sis, zozo. He took care of zozo for some times, but also searched for my attention while not seeing me around.
After having his favorite spaghetti, he went to his room to take a rest as I told him. Unfortunately, he couldn't fall asleep at all. Instead, he was reading books, and tried to roll over and over in his bed, and was doing rather quite activities in the room. But I do notice a loud noise from his room once like try to phlegm out. And he managed to read the reader "The Tortoise" all by himself fluently.
Later we went to Grandpa's, he actually watched a lot TV and was games played by his cousins. And ate lots of snack than usual. While stayed in grandpa's, he liked to play games such as throwing balls and building blocks...
Tonight, he stayed at 婆's.
